strat with two master volumes and no tone

[eiseyrokker]

I think the title is basicaly self-explanatory. I work at a guitar shop and we've been trying to figure out how to wire this guys guitar. He's got a humbucker int he bridge and two single coils, and he wants a volume for the bridge, and a volume for the singles. We've tried to rig it up, but so far we've only been able to get it so that it acts as two master volumes. Its got a normal strat five-way switch. Is there any way to pull this off without adding a switch?

You can either have a master volume or you can have three individual volumes, but you can't control two pickups with a single volume without affecting the third. For individual volume control, simply wire the volume pot in between the pickup and the switch, with the center terminal on the pot wired to the pickup. HTH

There was another thread on this.

Wire the volumes backwards. This will prevent that 2 master volume problem.
